Biographical Note

Donald Howard Chaplin was born November 13, 1922, and was a veteran of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. He was a part of the 523rd Squadron, 27th Fighter Group. He was wounded in action in September 1944, and disqualified from flying due to those injuries and burns from April 1945 to 1951. He received the Air Medal in 1944 and the Air Force Commendation Medal in 1964. He retired from the military in 1969 and passed away October 18, 1996.

Patrick Henry Brady was born October 1, 1936, and was a Vietnam veteran. He began his service in the ROTC in high school, and upon graduation was commissioned as a 2nd Lt. From there, he graduated from the U.S. Aviation School in 1963. During his time in Vietnam, he was the commander of a UH-1H ambulance helicopter. He was a member of the U.S. Army Medical Service Corps, 54th Medical Detachment, 67th Medical Group, and 44th Medical Brigade. It was during this time that he was awarded the Medal of Honor. He retired from the Army as a Major General in 1993.
